RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL, MAJOR

A major religious festival is a citywide affair. Staged by a dominant church, or at least a large independent one, such a festival might involve religious processions, people taking the day off work for prayer or ceremony, large feasts, long lines for access to priests or temples, and perhaps even demonstrations of faith and divine magic. A major religious festival can shut down an entire city for a day, if the church holding it is sufficiently large.
